I hadn't mentioned the Maroth deal. It is sort of difficult to make an assessment as I don't know who we will be sending back the other way. (Think they would take Preston Wilson? No? I suppose I didn't think so either.)
But Maroth has pitched 200+ innings in his career twice. He also lost 21 games in a season, for a truly dreadful Tigers squad it must be admitted. Right now the Cards are just hoping he can eat up some innings, and give them the lefty starting presence we lack with Mulder still working his way back.
Maroth has been having some control problem this year (33 walks in 78 innings is too many, not horrible but still too many for a guy who won't be striking out a lot of batters.) His WHIP is in the 1.6's, when it should be in the 1.35-.45 range. Who knows, maybe Dave Duncan can work that voodoo he do.
